The spokesman said the C-130 crew dropped a life raft to Sedlock and that two helicopters -- one each from the Navy and the Coast Guard -- reached the scene at about 5 p.m. and pulled the pilot out of the water.

Sedlock was described as suffering from hypothermia but otherwise in generally good condition after having spent an hour and 45 minutes in the water. He was taken to Stanford University Medical Center for observation and tests for possible internal injuries.
